Who We Are

Our mission is to connect local businesses to community-based family support centers by providing the link to contribute essential resources that support communities. Portal to Partners began in 2004 with a vision of connecting local businesses with Family Support Centers in King Country in order to make direct and significant impacts in the community for families in need. We match businesses looking for opportunities to participate philanthropically in the community with Family Centers needing contributions. We are sponsored by the King County Children and Family Commission.

• We work only with agencies that have a proven track record of success and effectiveness in working with children and families to help them succeed.
• We focus on prevention programs that have the best chance of long-term positive results.
• We work with your business, regardless of size, to find the best ways for you to contribute.
• We take the guesswork and legwork out of becoming involved and make it easy for you to get involved and stay involved.

All the programs we support are 501(c) 3 non-profit organizations. All donations are fully tax-deductible.
